Rochester region EWGA chapter tournament, played at Ravenwood yesterday. I shot a 101 and took low gross for my flight.
I’m a happy camper

Be still my heart!
I am now projecting all my romantic fantasies onto THIS MAN. Call me, Rocco, I promise to pick up!

Last fall, around the time it got too cold to golf anymore, I was feeling pretty discouraged about the game.
It seemed to me that after a year & a half of playing I should have been getting better. Ha. I was as close to breaking 100 at the end of 2006 [...]

Is golf in trouble?
My dad and I have been talking about it because one of the courses he plays once in awhile — the Conklin outside of Binghamton, NY — used to have long lines to tee off, but now is often considerably more quiet.
It opened in 1991.
Its weekend rate is $54 plus $10 if [...]

Played 18 at Taranwould Golf Course with the EWGA travel league today. It’s a short course — 4350 yard, par 66 — but it doesn’t play particularly short, at least not to this admitted neophyte golfer.

I played a couple times there this week now, too. Sunday I played my best [...]

I often stick my digital camera in my golf bag, but I haven’t been very good about publishing the pics I take. (It’s a great way to cool your heels if you’re behind slow players btw.)
So here to set things right are a couple pictures I took yesterday while golfing with my EWGA travel league [...]

Golfgal has posted tips for women who are just getting started in this game.
IMO, breaking the grass ceiling means we women have to do grass roots work to pass along what we’ve learned — particularly as pertains to the first couple of years of play, when so much is new and we (inevitably) feel [...]
